"Artists from all walks of life have almost confirmed this matter ten years ago, but now that I hear you admit it in person, my heart beats faster. This is really a historic node."
The reporter’s face was full of excitement and honor, as if he was lucky enough to witness this scene and participate in history personally.
I don’t know whether Cao Xuan is a greater painter than Dali.
But he is sure.
The significance of Mr. Cao’s formal handover is no less significant than the social impact of Dali’s 1974 announcement to the Spanish media that he would withdraw from artistic creation due to health problems. .
It is always a big event for an artist to announce his handover or seal his pen.
This means that his art career has come to an end and no new works will be produced.
From now on.
Cao Xuan is just a living cultural symbol, not a super painter whose brush can be as powerful as a Federal Reserve money printing machine.
Attention.
This does not mean that the value of "Cao Xuan" has been reduced.
On the contrary, this is great news for all collectors who hold Mr. Cao’s works.
To put it bluntly, this news made them more excited than when they saw the obituary of Mr. Cao’s death on the Saturday night TV news.
The handover and death both represent the end of his creative life as an artist to varying degrees.
Starting from today, all works with Cao Xuan’s seal on the market have become out-of-print.
Large galleries and art museums can start preparing for the retrospective exhibition of the old man’s career.
And art academies around the world can officially begin to chronicle Cao Lao’s artistic style and creative history in his life.
We can even start preparing to write a biography of this contemporary art master and make a documentary film like Mei Lanfang.
Well, based on Cao’s birth year, it is possible that academic circles may classify him as a modern art master like Xu Beihong, rather than in the list of contemporary art masters.
Anyway, it’s right that auction houses and the art market are getting dry.
Rare things are more valuable.
Pokémon cards are out of print and the price has doubled, let alone a great artist.
It is common for well-known artists to lose their hair several times after being shot.
In 2018, Mr. Cao announced that he would stop writing, and the market price had already risen sharply.
In the news of this handover, not only the average price of Cao Xuan’s paintings has increased, which is already astronomical, but also the value of the 43-year-old female artist in front of the reporter.
If the contemporary Eastern Xia calligraphy and painting circles are still the same as during the Republic of China, there are Southern Painting School, Northern Painting School, Shanghai Painting School, and Capital Painting School.
After Cao Xuan officially gave up the position under his buttocks to his female disciple.
After Ms. Tang Ning’s title, she can be crowned with the honorific title of “Head of the Southern Painting Sect.”
The Southern Painting School is the literati painting of the scholar-bureaucrat class, which must be both pure and noble.
This is almost meaningless to Lang Shining.
Many of the famous figures among them are noble ministers or relatives of the emperor, what are they, Erli, Badashanren, Yishuier's serious clan children.
Historically, most of these distinguished painters were guests of the emperor, and they were so awesome.
"Ms. Tangning, you are now one of the sixteen five-star painters in our buyer's guide."
"Before coming to the interview, I originally planned to say, congratulations on your success in art." Such a gratifying record has been achieved in the market, but unfortunately, in my personal assessment, the oil painting magazine will not increase your recommendation star rating because of this. After all, leaving aside the painting itself, the peak price of a work of 54 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough for one person. For a 43-year-old Mesozoic painter, it is already too high."
The reporter sniffed, "Oh my God, I saw the media reports. I have been a critic all my life, and the total salary is just your wrist. The money for any bracelet."
The buyer's guide of the art publication is a section for buying advice for investors.
When determining stars for each painter, not only the artistic value of the artist's own artwork is considered, but also the buyer's return on investment.
In the field of medium and high stars above three stars, the stars assigned to them by painters’ oil painting magazines that sell more expensive oil paintings are not necessarily higher.
In 2008, Hearst’s single auction was as popular as Ms. Downing’s.
Tang Ning only sold it for more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Fifteen years ago, Hirst, who was just forty years old, made more than 200 million US dollars in one auction. That spring, he was the most prosperous artist emperor in the history of this planet.
In the same spring,
Oil Painting Magazine openly lowered Hearst’s recommended star rating, as if playing devil’s advocate.
It dropped from six stars to four and a half stars, and noted in the buyer’s guide that there are currently a large number of Hirst works on the market eager to be sold. At the same time, parting ways with Gagosian Gallery brings uncertainty about career paths, so please wait and see with caution.
Since 2009, Hirst’s works have entered a long winter. Even if inflation is not taken into account, most of the Hirst works held by collectors at that time had negative returns.
Oil Painting Magazine, like a prophet going against the current, predicted all this with ice-like calmness when the market was at its hottest.
Of course.
There are also many opinions that, just like the financial crisis and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the fact that an investment vane magazine such as oil painting lowered its recommended star rating also played a crucial role in the collapse of Hearst’s market. Important promoter.
The two things cause and effect each other.
In oil painting, I feel that a certain artist is going to collapse, but I don’t think so.It's all very difficult.
Even if you are Damien Hirst, the best in the world, you cannot escape this law.
In short, after Tangning’s net worth rose significantly this time.
Oil painting magazines are still willing to maintain their five-star recommendations and give investors relatively optimistic evaluations, which can already boost buyer confidence.
"However, now I feel it is necessary to take back this statement. Five stars is not high for the successor personally selected by Mr. Cao Xuan. I'm afraid I want to congratulate all the people who auctioned today For those who bought your paintings at the meeting, Mr. Cao Xuan’s words were enough to instantly increase the price of your works by another 10%.”
“I think that after Sir Brown received the message from me. Press release later. You will become one of the few six-star painters like your master Cao Xuan."
According to the rules.
Before the oil painting executives make a decision, reporters should not say anything that may greatly affect market price fluctuations.
For a small character like Detective Cat, Miss Elena can directly mention two and a half stars with just a phone call.
Five-star and six-star painters.
All in all, I couldn’t find thirty of them even after searching through the buyer’s section.
This change in the ratings of a major painter is endorsed by the golden name and credibility of the oil painting magazine.
In an instant, a tsunami of billions of dollars of capital can be set off in the investment market.
Even when Miss Elena's aunt is still alive, whoever wants to be promoted to a six-star recommendation level needs the approval of all shareholders on the board of directors.
But the reporter still made an exception and expressed his feelings.
The officially selected successor of Mr. Cao deserves this honor from the oil painting magazine.
The board of directors will not stand in the way of such matters at this time.
Now is a critical period of restructuring and power struggle for the Oil Painting Magazine. Only the board of directors would be crazy to offend Mr. Cao Xuan, a cultural symbol with great symbolic significance.
Think of the extent to which Sir Brown knows how to behave.
The reporter felt that the chairman would even take advantage of this time when Mr. Cao announced the handover.
Cao Xuan mentioned that after Andy Warhol was shot in 1967, the seven-star throne of representative vomiting blood, which had been vacant for half a century, was used to sell it as a favor.
In the past, oil painting magazines were very noble and glamorous, and were not willing to pursue financial hot spots in the art market.
The Xiangjiang spring auction was still in the preparatory stage when he received an interview assignment. After the auction, the oil painting was to be interviewed for the cover of Tang Ning. There is a hidden meaning of showing favor to Tang Ning, and more importantly, Cao Xuan behind showing favor to Tang Ning.
Everyone carried the sedan chair.
I will give you a hand, and you will give me some face.
I don’t expect Mr. Cao to side with Sir Brown in the fight between the Irina family and the oil painting magazine.
Just be quietSit in that Jiangnan garden courtyard and do your academic research.
It will be good if everyone is in peace.
"A pair of masters and apprentices, two six-stars. I think this is also a kind of inheritance and succession, isn't it."
The reporter turned his head to look at the camera and looked at what was being played Readers of the video spread their hands, "If this is not outstanding, what else is outstanding? Art history has not remembered who Andy Warhol's apprentice or Picasso's son was. But I think history will definitely remember Cao Xuan and Ms. Tang Ning are such double masters."
"I thought about what the title of our cover story should be: iketheaster, ikethediscie is a legend when he is a master and a disciple."
"Ahem."
Ms. Tang Ning cleared her throat, temporarily interrupting the reporter's emotional speech.
"Well, actually, the old man hasn't officially announced yet that he wants me to, well, according to you, wants me to take the brush from his hand."
The female artist looked at the reporter With stunned eyes, he reluctantly shrugged, "At least now, at this moment, not yet."
"Then you say"
"But it's only a matter of time. It doesn't matter whether the old man said it himself or not. I am definitely the most suitable one." For some reason, Tangning's tone was clearly dissatisfied.
"I'm afraid, Miss Tangning, strictly speaking, there is quite a difference. At least the confidence of art investors will be different. You know what I'm talking about."
p>The reporter was stunned for a few seconds.
He is also a veteran.
The reporter suddenly noticed that Tangning's mood seemed to fluctuate abnormally when the issue of heir was brought up.
Hey
Interesting.
The reporter squinted his eyes.
People from all walks of life have long felt that it was a certainty that Tang Ning would take over from Mr. Cao.
But now
"Except me, what difference does it make if the old man said it himself or not?"
The reporter speculated about the middle-aged woman in front of him. That subtle difference in tone.
His first reaction was that Mr. Cao passed away suddenly.
Wrong.
Mr. Cao has a lot of public activities this year. He went to Southeast Asia at the beginning of the year and will speak at the European Art Annual Conference in a while.
My body has always been strong and I have never heard of any bad rumors.
Then,
Maybe Teacher Cao’s family is not as peaceful as he imagined, and the issue of the heir will have twists and turns again
His heart skipped a beat. .
I thought that what I was interviewing was a touching drama about the master holding the master's hand. Unexpectedly, I might have unearthed a palace fight drama about the undercurrent of the art school.
This is simply trueIt's so awesome
The scene where the master's heirs are fighting each other is no less interesting and topical than the scenes in Hong Kong's Taiping Mountains where the wealthy families in the villas are robbing each other of their property.
Picasso’s wife and lover had children out of wedlock and out of wedlock. They fought and cursed each other, swallowed guns, hung themselves, were deprived of visitation rights, and were expelled from the house. The drama has been going on since the day when Picasso died. It is gossiped about by the art media to this day.
A lot of autobiographies from different perspectives have been published.
Will this scene happen again in 2023?
The art circle attaches great importance to inheritance, especially the Asian art circle.
The meaning and interests behind the title of Cao Xuan’s heir are no less than those of Picasso’s family fortune.
"I would like to ask, your senior brother, Mr. Lin Tao"
The reporter was thinking about which apprentice made Mr. Cao suddenly have other thoughts.
The most likely one is Lin Tao.
He is the oldest, and he is also the signature of Central Academy of Fine Arts. As the most powerful art school in Eastern Xia, all kinds of relationships are complicated, so he may not have the idea of promoting Professor Lin Tao to take over.
Thinking about it this way, should I go home, clear out my stocks, and exchange some paintings of Lin Tao for me to hug?
Well, it could also be Mr. Liu Ziming, the fourth junior brother.
It is widely rumored that Cao Xuan's two youngest disciples have always been competing to take over. Currently, Tang Ning's achievements are higher, but the fourth disciple Liu Ziming also has a personal advantage.
Although he is a Malaysian and Mr. Cao’s only overseas apprentice, he is also the one with the best family background among the brothers.
Nearly all of the few disciples who could become Mr. Cao’s disciples came from scholarly families, and none of them had particularly poor family backgrounds.
It’s just that Mr. Liu is not an average person.
I am the third son of an old Malaysian Chinese shipping king. He is an elegant person who loves art but not business. Although the huge shipping group has long been inherited by his brother, he is definitely an extremely wealthy uncle.
In the art industry, the underlying logic is that wealth equals strength.
If he had the will, he might not have been eliminated from this succession battle.
"You may have misunderstood."
When Tangning saw the reporter's dazed look, she knew that the reporter was overthinking.
The woman shook her head angrily, "My brothers and sisters are all very nice, and they dote on me very much. They won't compete with me. It's just that the old man is old and has a childlike temper. Sometimes, he talks too much." Just don’t count. This will give some people thoughts that they shouldn’t have.”
She was very confused about something during this time.
At the birthday banquet that year, Tang Ning had clearly held his hand. Not to mention the outside world, at that moment, even Tang Ning believed that she was Mr. Cao's successor.
Why did you suddenly want to recruit another disciple?
You are crazy.
Recruit a child who is not yet an adult into the school.
He also deserves to be remembered as a favorite. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
